A L0Ason for Canada

LONDON, June 6.-The Standard reads
Canada a severe lesson for increasing her
duties on iron and steel which, it says, is
selfish policy and can only tend to sunder
colonies from the mother country. 1.-THE
increase was made" it says, ION the hol.
low pretence Of desire to check the rapid
increase of trade with the United States in
our favor; We decline the offer with thanks.
We do not want our trade fostered at
the expense Of our neighbors, even If it
could be done; but it cannot be done in
that way. Interest IN Canada is to foster
trade with the United States by every
means in it's power. The free trade is on
the Canadian side the larger it will be in
spite OF the insane tariff Of the United
States; and larger the trade with the
United States the richer will the Canal
people become. and more business will 8

No ittle excitemsnt was created IN Ger
man business circles last svenins BY tn
fact becoming known that st 8 p. n. tha
Sheriff levied an attachment On The Owl
saloon ut the corner Of the alley west Of
Main on Broadway. and closed it up The
attaching creditor VA undsrstood to be
J.. 8. Bowman & Co., Of San Francisco, for
goods yet lying undelivered 1t the depot.
The writ of attachment Wa sued out BY
Messrs. Knowles 4 Forbis, attorneys in
Butte for Bowman 4 Co.. and placed in
the sherifPs hands for service. Mr..
Fritseh's partner va seen and

from him. He had leased the ground from
the owner at q monthly rent for three
years and the building he claimed ~ bis own.
It was known among his friends that be
bad advanced the capital necessary to
place the saloon in its present frst-elass
condition, but he had assigned the lease he
held and sold the building to the firm Of A.
E. Fritsch & Co. by whom it was new
owned. Everything there wa the
PROPERTY OF THE FIRM.
The ground rent was paid in advance, end
the license for n year was only taken out
since the building had been reitted. But
he had mentioned casually among his
friends that he had contemplated paying .
visit to Europe, and instantly some person
had got frightened and said that he was
going to skip, and that the credit OF the ~
manning portion Of the firm va not worth
q cent.
and he believed some oficious person had
t~elegraphed to the San Francisco firm,
warning them OF this scare, and that Bow
rrar raphed instructions to his atror-
ney an attachment on the place. The

Mr.. Nichols expressed himself perfectly sat

afraid OF getting their debt in full. The
means of the firm are more than sufficient
to discharge three times the amount

that Mr.. Fritsch had left town, but it was
utterly without foundation, and he had no
intention Of doing anything 30 foolish.
The attachments will be eettled or with.
